  • @calimar28. You are sad if you think Ron Paul is great. Look up CNN and Ron Paul racist comments.

  • @syzygy502 Nobody cares. We are 15 trillion in debt and jobless. Even if he did make racist comments (he didnt, but lets pretend he did), my point is WHO GIVES A DAMN?

    Race card is maxxed out. Whites no longer care.

  • @calimar28 There you go. Lots of whites care and the debt was caused by the whites. You are an atrocious animal that needs to be slaughtered. We are 15 trillion in debt because of George W. Bush.

  • @syzygy502 QUOTE: "the debt was caused by the whites"

    Well syzygy502, the majority of the violent crime is caused by blacks, and have facts to back it up. Also, the majority of our prison population is black, and that costs us plenty. I also believe that the majority of welfare and govt housing (per capita) is blacks, and that costs us plenty.

  • @calimar28 82% of America's prisoners are white. 87% of violent crime is done by whites. You don't have any facts to back that up. Also, welfare in this country, the majority of it is taken by whites.

  • @syzygy502 LOL where do you get THOSE facts? :D You cant make shit up like that! Blacks = 57% of violent crime, 48% of welfare roles, 37% dropout rates.

  • @calimar28 You are a racist then. You put blacks in debt and then you ask them to pay the debt that you caused.

  • @calimar Please. You're a moron. Look up Ron Paul racist comments.

  • Go Obama!

  • For years we could only purchase shitty, yellow, inefficient lightbulbs with short lifespans. Now we have more efficient, although by no means perfect, better light bulbs that cast a whiter light. They're less polluting (the mercury myth is laughable as old-fashioned lightbulbs create more mercury pollution as a byproduct of the coal that's burned to run them-google it) and last for years. I just had one fail after six years. All the others are still working fine.

  • ~~^~^~^Americans should know the differEnce between voter fraud and ELECTION FRAUD. Voter fraud is non-existent. ELECTION FRAUD DOES EXIST. REPUBLICANS have a reputation for using DIEBOLD ELECTRONIC voting machines to commit ELECTION FRAUD. CALLyour congressperson & SENATOR & DEMAND the ELIMINATION of ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES & that we switch to a VERIFIABLE PAPER VOTING METHOD. ~~^~^~^~^To win in 2012 REPUBLICANS will NOT hesitate to use ELECTION FRAUD AGAIN.

  • Just in case you are too lazy...all you have to do on your search is combine young turks with Armenia genocide.

  • First...look up your history on who the young turks really were and what they did...

    Second, the tytie boys and girls are pushing the same mainstream rhetoric that has put our country in the position we are in.

    The Federal Reserve and the Military Industrial Complex have ruined The United States. Now children, ask yourself a question. What candidates, D or R even mention this FACT?

    Bail out the banks?? Too big to Fail???

    The bailout, if given to Americans = 52000+ a piece

  • RON PAUL 2012. Cenk you are worrying me..

  • Pussylenty ... pussied out. Not a surprise. Here's a man with no fire in the belly, no aggression. Basically a fucking wimp. He pussied out, which is not a surprise. Pussylenty ... pussying out.

  • well that's not fair; T-Pawzz totally got the best of her in that one. Oh well he's long gone anyways.

  • By the way, Cenk, the Lightbulb Freedom of Choice Act is serious. There was an attempt to Federally ban Clandestine lightbulbs, and while I'm not crazy about Bachmann, I applaud her for protecting freedom of choice here.

  • Wow, pathetic Pawlenty! You lose the balls to stand up to Bachmann, so you just bash Obama instead? Obama, who isn't there to defend himself. Say it to his face, coward!

  • Its sad that in the U.S. someone would have to introduce a bill titled "the light bulb freedom act"

  • Is it just me or is Ron Paul over rated, and gets to much attention?

  • Ron Paul > Any sellout democrat or repubican. But evil corporations would go as far as assassinate him than let him be the president.

  • TYT Why are ignoring Ron Paul?

  • Lightbulb Freedon Of Choice Act gets round of applause...what a bunch of fuckin losers led by bigger losers...

  • American right-wingers have a gathering, what a clownfest for those living in the vicinity.

    .

    Maybe not Ron Paul who is ideologically coherent, but how many Republican voters care about that.

    Say words like "God" and "COMMUNISTS!!!" enough times and you have won.

    .

    Just look at the Governor of Texas f.e, everybody knows how he "fixed" Texas' economy. How many knows how many billions in unpaid bills Texas has?

    What are the jobs he created really worth, with the shit salaries that accompany them?

  • this just in --- bachman crushes oxycodone... then snorts it.

  • @defect530 She has to forget about her closet faggot husband.

  • I kind of like Pawlenty more now... I mean, I like him like I like a flaming dogshit on my porch... but I like him more than Bachmann.

    happy to watch them slit each other's throats in Iowa

  • The Lightbulb Freedom Act is important!

  • The Konsteetooshun is, like, sooooo uncool. It's, like, really really old - almost a hundred years. And on top of that it has, like, really really big words in it. Therefore - it sucks. I learned these facts from the Washington Post.

  • Frank Herbert, the author of Dune, said; "Power doesn't corrupt; power attracts the corruptible." US politicians are a joke, through and through, but nobody is laughing.

  • I'm from Minnesota and let me tell you they were both horrible. Bachmann did nothing other than get famous off her insane quotes. Pawlenty was a bumbling idiot, surprised he was ever elected. I would love to see either of these candidates get the nomination because Minnesota has not voted for a Republican President since 1972 (longest in the US). MN has voted for a Democrat President 17 out of 20 times since 1932. It would be hilarious to see one of them lose their own state in the election.

  • @C1Era Don't forget where Pawlenty left our economy, and the fact that Bachmann has done NOTHING for her district.

  • The 'Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act'....... I think that says everything we need to know about Michele Bachmann.

  • i see no differnce between her nd palin

  • @MrMahdib123

    Bachmann's much smarter and more accomplished than Palin. Actually in almost every respect that matters, she's superior to Palin. That's not to say that I agree with her positions on most things it's just that Palin so clearly lacks any kind of real substance - she's just a face.

  • @TheSmithDorian Yeah Sarah is just a face...but a damn pretty face!

  • @TheSmithDorian i agree with that but just like palin shes not gonna get elected

  • @MrMahdib123

    Yes that's probably true.

  • we have to pick between obama (who made no progress), bachman (who wants to make laws against people who have different beliefs than her), or some prick that noone cares about. Fuck it, im moving to Canada.

  • @checkeredflag90210 I don't like bachman and she will not get my vote. But exactly what laws does she want to make against people with different beliefs than her?

  • @SupremeAmerican

    she spoke openly about trying to "cure" the homosexual "disease" in america because she's straight. Shes trying to mix religion with politics. You dont make rules and statements trying to mix opinion about personal expression with politics. It aint right. And it sure as hell dont help if Palin gets in office. Our tax money will go to us trying to prove that dinosaurs lived with humans. God help us.

  • @checkeredflag90210 Asked you a simple question. You couldnt give a simple answer. In fact the answer you gave was incorrect. You are referring to a private business owned by her husband, it's a christian heatlh center, and one of the things they offer is therapy. Some people tried to do a sting on it, and caught a hired therapist saying he thinks homosexuality can be cured to varying degrees, but he is not an expert on the subject. Now again. What laws, specifically?

  • @checkeredflag90210 Because if i am not mistaken, she wants less government, not more. You are the one mixing beliefs and politics, then claiming she did. Is this a correct assessment i have made? 

  • @checkeredflag90210 YEAH BUDDY. Free healthcare. >:D

  • pawlenty was wrong because if shes voted with the republican party line then she has done the things republicans want.

  • Ron paul is the only one who isnt lieing through his teeth. 

  • Pawlenty might actually be the dark horse in this GOP race.

  • Thank god americans live in a land of free light bulbs...

  • Love conservatives that;

    don't believe in evolution, but do believe in social darwinism

    are not in conservative views of land and nature, but buy into economic liberalism

    do not want slow secular growth like that of their single common religion, but in rapid deregulation and fast money

    believe in the value of life except the poverty and death created by their consumptive greed

    believe only in the freedom of their religion and fight to prevent any other religion or ideology gaining power

  • @doesitmatter2you What you just described is probably 0.0000001 percent of conservatives. Is there a particular person you don't like?

  • @SupremeAmerican Those are the Republican planks. That is what they proudly state they stand for.

    Social Darwinism - removal of social programs like welfare, unemployment, public education, and free-capitalism.

    Economic Liberalism - oppose government intervention because the state serves business interests such as green businesses unfairly distorting the market to their favor.

    Rapid deregulators and proud

    Life vs greed - Rep are anti union and labor rights.

    Rep. spoke out against mosque building

  • @doesitmatter2you o i am sorry that wasnt u that made the claim. It was some 17 year old kid who is obviously a liberal. He has not replied. He knows he lost. He knows his claim was simple hate mongering.

  • I love the pro American name you have, wow you must REALLY be a patriot. You must have the best interests of America at heart.

    Sounds like a burrito at taco bell, the American Supreme, maybe a wrestler.

    Have you see idiocracy... where do you think you might fit in...

  • @doesitmatter2you Yeah i use to do sattirical films on youtube exploiting the whole pro-american attitude but anyway. I simply asked a simple question. I said "What laws specifically, does bachman want to enstate, that go against people with different beliefs than her" And since that was the claim, it has since proven wrong. SHe does not want to make such laws. Just more bigotry from the left. I point this out, and now it seems instead of using facts, lefties insult like children. Illogical.

  • @SupremeAmerican What laws does bachmann want to institute that goes against people with different beliefs?

    Do you want the environmental answer. She is just dumb on the env. complete deregulator. Against others beliefs.

    Do you want the religious. Michele Bachmann Endorses Call for Anti-Muslim Inquisition.

    She said multiple times on Sun. She will only accept views similar to hers and she will work to promote them into law.

    Do you the laws she will propose in the future when she has power?

  • @doesitmatter2you I've seen idiocracy, but your character attacks are not necessary. Just showing me that you are at a loss for words, and unable to back up your statements, so like the typical liberal, you resort to name calling and fit throwing. I am a registered Independent, i am neither conservative nor liberal. My patriotism is not the topic. You claimed bachman wanted to make laws that hurt people with different religious beliefs than her. You were wrong. Own up to it.

  • @SupremeAmerican I am absolutely not wrong on that. From her mouth she says she will promote an America and pass laws in line with ONLY her beliefs not comprimising or even being open to other ideas.

    I know that religion is more a set of beliefs and values than anything else. A moral code. By enforcing hers, she oppresses others.

    See you are the problem with America. Your very name.

    The American Dream that your name indicates you defend, is based on domination.

  • @SupremeAmerican I MADE ZERO character attacks.

    I said your screen name was dumb, not you. Don't try to fake some moral outrage to change subjects.

    I asked if you saw a movie and where you think you might fit. If you don't like your own answer, that is your problem.

    Don't push your insecurities on me. If you took offense to my comments, that is YOUR problem, your perspective, your perception, again your problem.

  • So these Republicans and their supporters have a problem buying a light bulb that's MORE efficient, cost less in long term, and is good for the environment? Wow....when the fuck are they going to start using their brain? They need to stop smoking whatever they're on, PLEASE!

  • hope there some good picks on the democratic side.  i enjoyed this years straw poll for republicans.

  • You have the choice between Ron Paul or a retarded.

    All the candidates are jokes, and Fox news is trying to censor the popularity of Ron Paul.

  • watching republicans are soooo funny

  • @TQXPreturns It's not funny when they're in office, congress, and senate.

  • This "young Jerk" host is one ugly mofo....

  • Ron Paul is my choice, but any of cartoons are better Obama

  • Jesus this country is going down the shitter.

  • bye tpaw do not come back 

  • Republicans. Make sure to switch your party soon to Democrat, so you'll be ready for the General Election. You don't want to go to the polls and be embarrassed when they ask you which party line to get in.

    It's quite embarrasing to be a Republican these days you know. If you're one of the racists though, the Democrats really don't want you.

  • I'm gonna attack it.

  • damn look at jayar in that sweet ass chair

  • I feel like I'm watching MTV... FOX debates are brainrot

  • Dear TYT: It is a bit disappointing to see you give loser Pawlenty this much air time as if he was ever a serious candidate. I can understand giving Bachman a bit of attention since she bought the votes that let her come in first place. However, when are you planning on covering Dr Ron Paul? He came in at a very close second. If anyone deserves more attention from the Republican side it would be him. Please step it up and don't be at the same level as the mainstream media. Thank you.

  • @househunny7 Thank you! TYT is a disgrace. They have lost a viewer. Ron Paul probably won the straw poll but that was probably phased out too. It doesn't surprise because Cenk used to work for the mainstream media. This is garbage.

  • Fuck TYT! RON PAUL 2012! Fuck the establishment!

  • @househunny7 Ron Paul has no fucking chance of anything, because he's a lunatic and a joke.

  • @AsifIcarebear3 and whats your reason that he can't win???

  • Comment removed

  • @AsifIcarebear3 I couldn't post the video so i put in on your profile and just proved ya wrong know your facts before ya post wrong info about someone..

  • @AsifIcarebear3 Actually, you are just mimicking the arguments that people use for the small-timer candidates. You can't apply those to Ron Paul, because the content of his speeches are very good.

  • @AsifIcarebear3 Wow, you sure know how to convince me with nothing but name calling and no actual substance lol. oozing sarcasm over here. >.<

  • @househunny7 Ron Paul is a complete joke because of his views on religion, abortion, how the states should work as well as healthcare. He won't ever come anywhere near the white house.

  • @AsifIcarebear3 Yeah because the way goverment and the states are working now, is going so swell...

  • @calimar28 Yeah, because since the system isn't going perfectly we need to go batshit insane and mess it up even more...

    Fucking get off Ron Paul's dick for just one second.

  • @househunny7 Ron Paul does not deserve air time. He is just a bitter, old man, wanting power and using his excuse saying that he's liberatarian.

  • Ron Paul can never be president because he is too old, and has too many republican issues.

  • @syzygy502 So what are valid reasons why he can't be president? Stop with the name calling and empty talking points; it makes it hard to even take your comments seriously.

  • @househunny7 His racist policies are my biggest issue. He doesn't know how to lead also. He's asked for more earmarks than anyone in Washington for his district.

  • @syzygy502 Racist? Saying that buisness' has the right to hire whoever they want is racist?

  • @calimar28 I never said that business was racist.

  • @syzygy502 Then how is Ron Paul racist?

  • @househunny7

    They give Ron Paul a decent amount of coverage. He's even been interviewed extensively on TYT. The real culprits are Fauxpaganda, who ignored Paul's name completely. Anyway, Pawlenty and Bachmann are funnier.

  • @geffel Okay, I will give you that... They are funnier and so is Rick perry, lol. They love wearing their clown shoes 24/7.

  • no mention of ron paul at all???

  • Cenk, I like you and the Young Turks, but if Pawlenty is this small non-politician, then why talk about him like he's a threat. You're smart, you know that Fox News and the Republican machine are going to use any politician to overshadow the true leader, Ron Paul. You may or may not like the doctor, but he's the lesser of the evils for you. Why focus on Pawlenty so much?

  • Ron Paul outsmarts and outleads both Bachmann and Pawlenty combined.

    Ron Paul 2012!

  • How can you watch reality TV when you have republicans fighting each other.

  • FUCK YOU, Young Jerks, for ignoring Ron Paul's existence yet again. HE utterly raped Pawlenty, too, yet you never even ONCE uttered his name. You chose to talk about that shemale Bachmann instead of talking about him. You are no better than the mainstream media.

  • 4:12 cenk what the fuck are you talking about? blachman doesn't know what the fuck oxygen is

  • Cenk was right about Pawlenti, once again.

  • Cenk I really am disappointed in your 'cat noise' Just because a woman calls someone out doesn't mean it's catty. Men are just as catty.

    You should be ashamed of that chauvinistic remark.

  • Bachmann has got to be the dumbest republican that ever escaped from the zoo, and yet Pawlenty looked like a fumbling fool in front of her, what an utter stroke he is.

  • 2012 is going to be the scariest election America has ever seen... the country will be completely fucked regardless of who wins.

  • I don't know what I'm more baffled by, the idea of a 'lightbulb freedom act' in general or the fact that people applauded her after she talked about it.

  • Comment removed

  • @getlikemc He was not relevant to the video content.

  • The fact that Bachmann won the straw pool shows me that america is fucked as all hell. You guys need a civil war, or at least a great famine.

  • @ArtypNk Why? Because we are 15 trillion in debt, addign nearly 2 trillion every year to that debt, and she wants to stop it? She wants to stop borrowing money? That means she is a nut?

    So the liberals spending us into oblivion, that isnt nuts?

  • @calimar28

    Dont pretend that she is a sane woman just trying to balance the country. If you are smart enough to use a computer that means you are smart enough to recognize extreme lunacy.

  • @calimar28 "So the liberals spending us into oblivion, that isnt nuts?"

    So Bush was a liberal? Interesting...

  • @RegioLunar Yes Bush was a liberal. Both parties have put up liberals for about 100 years (except Harding/Cooledge in the 20's), and that is what is wrong with the country...too much money spending and too many govt programs by both progressive parties.... the progressive republicans, and the progressive democrats. Progressivism DOESNT WORK. It's coming to an end too, can you feel the teaparty?

  • @calimar28 it doesn't work? look at europe, europe has a lot more government spending and a lot less debt.

  • @nybotheveg Yes, lets look at Europe. Look at Greece, look at Spain, look at Italy, look at Ireland. BANKRUPT.

    Oh, look at the riots in England, and the riots last year in France. Yes, big immigration works

  • @nybotheveg Oh, and if Europe was doing good (which it isnt), then why did America have to loan them 2 trillion recently? Progressivism doent work, it just doesnt.

  • @calimar28 you are looking at the wrong parts of europe. southern europe spend without raising taxes which is a huge mistake. look at north europe like denmark, norway germany, sweden. we have a much more decent economy than america while have a lot more social services.

  • @ArtypNk we have sort of a famine already

  • @cpufightclub

    Having 24/7 aces to value meals is by no means a famine.

  • can't wait to hear what cenk's gonna say about the pawlenty exit

  • Interestingly, Pawlenty dropped out of the race today! Let's just hope they all drop out!

  • Bachman seems like an alien trying to act like a human, something about her is creepy as shit.

  • Pawlenty dropped out!

    so much for the "comeback kid"

  • straw polls.. whatever. pay for voting? voters carted in by partisan buses? no wonder the most insane candidates win.

  • The real story that won't be reported is that 57% of the votes were cast between Bachmann and Paul - both supposedly too "radical".

  • Uhh..Cenk... the "oxygen freedom act" is currently being repealed. Big oil lobbyists have gotten together to start a monopoly on clean air to breathe...fortunately, they will have tax payers pay for it as a "medicine", and should be covered under medicare.

  • the Republican debates have basically been a competition who can blame Obama more. We already know Obama is a shitty president now SHUT UP and give us your solution or sit the fuck down.

  • Dr. Paul was robbed.

  • This breaks down to "I'm not center right like Obama, I'm insane"

  • Looove that soundboard. hahaha

  • Pawlenty will never win because, like Obama he's too conciliatory, he's afraid to fight. 

  • @rjbonacolta Pawlenty will never win your right, but not because he's too conciliatory. He wont win because he just dropped out of the race.

  • If the tea party backs bachmann instead of ron paul then they should just all shoot themselves in the face. Paul is the only one serious about being a constitutionalist.

  • Tim Pawlenty is such a goddamn loser. Seriously, he's a wasted thought.

  • The congresspeople candidates are smashing T-Paw in Ames. The difference b/w Paul and Bachmann was 152 votes. The difference b/w Paul and T-Paw was 2378 votes. T-Paw was smashed by 2nd. If they say bachmann is front runner b/c this straw poll then Paul has to be up there too. difference was only 152 votes not 2378 votes like with idiot T-Paw. Where was romney's 4516 votes from 07? Romney got 567 votes this time around.

  • Comment removed

  • Bachmann crushes Pawlenty?

    Let's face it a dead fish could crush Pawlenty.

  • Damn, Pawlenty is a Puss, an a lame one at that  !

  • "ENGLISH GOTHIC" IS EVERYWHERE D=

  • Why the fuck was I ever a republican?

  • @theUSER101 You were a republican? You must be one rich mother fucker...

  • @theUSER101 Better health plan and benefits...

  • @theUSER101 To be fair, the republicans of old no longer exist. The actual politicians have been bought off by the corporations (although many dems are guilty of that as well) and the party itself taken over by religious zealots and just nutjobs in general. Sane republicans themselves are not the enemy. They simply need to reclaim their own party. In fact, we should do everything we can to help them achieve that goal. The real enemy are those rich fuckers who managed to divide us.

  • @lapugenero So which republicans do you like? The establisment which is bought and paid for by the corporations? Or the "crazy" teaparty, who isnt bought and paid for? They are only called crazy because they are not bought.

  • @theUSER101 Because they used to be good. lol

  • @theUSER101 Because once upon a time the Republican Party was the party of limited government, common sense finances, and moderate foreign policy. Now they're the party that says Jesus doesn't want to tax rich people but hates the EPA, and the government should be small enough to not give you health care, but big enough to watch you in your bedroom.

  • @Monolith21000 I posted your comment on my facebook haha.

  • @theUSER101 I was until I took an advanced history class. Ya know, became educated??

  • @theUSER101 Wow a Republican that has show self-hatred. Those are infinitely more rare than the Democrats that show disgust at their own party which really says something

  • @theUSER101 It was probably the hair

  • Pawlenty was the only one to stand up to the ethenol lobby , i give him credit for that .

  • I don't care about either of em but tim pawlenty has got to be the biggest pussy of a candidate, he's done the same thing with mitt romney and pussied out like a bitch, just give it up dude, you're so fucking miserable its pathetic

  • If bachmann wins the election then its officially possible for ANYONE to be president, honestly.

  • @AForkSpoon I think it doesnt have to be a human. A monkey or maybe a pinguin

  • Wow, she passed a lightbulb bill!!? You don't say

  • I think the title should change to two children fighting over a piece of chocolate...

  • It's cute to watch the two of them argue like that. Adorable, those two.

  • the lightbulb freedom act: giving everyone the choice of wasting their money and ignore technological advances so their precious feeble sense of individualism isn't hurt. this from a woman who says in congress that carbon dioxide can't possibly be a dangerous gas because we produce it naturally. michelle, please force yourself to not exhale any carbon dioxide for 5 minutes.

  • @tyrannosaurusinf14 All Die Hard Republicans uses 100 watt bulbs in there refrigerators. that way it cooks there food if they have the door open for more than 10 seconds....!

  • @tyrannosaurusinf14 I remember some guy a while back who kept going on about how it was wrong that he couldn't buy 100 watt lightbulbs, yet he could never give me a good reason for why he would need a small sun to light his house.

  • @tyrannosaurusinf14

    3%... 3%!!!! lol it's actually closer to .3%

  • @ChrisTripp yeah, i remember that too, i was hearing it live. the fact that nobody in congress stopped her while she was saying clear and demonstrable wrong things is why we are headed nowhere but towards disaster

  • @tyrannosaurusinf14 You dumb liberals are so bent on carbon bullshit, your willing to sink the entire economy over some unfounded and unproven enviromental issues. WE GOT TO EAT. We could create thousands of new jobs right now, if you took the ban off of drilling in most parts of the USA. If you said "ok, lets drill in FLorida and California", not only would you solve our jobs problem, you would solve our energy dependance problem as well. But no...you wont have that. Drilling might kill a fish

  • @calimar28 is your life so pathetic that all you do is troll on these message boards looking to get any kind of social interaction? you are not wanted here. go kill yourself if you can't find similarly minded shit for brains somewhere else. do not troll here polluting people's mailboxes. you understand nothing of the issues and can only be yelled at to shoo away. i'm not enabling your trolling anymore here and nobody else should.
